The Spanish midfielder, 19, has also been warned about his future conduct after he posted a photo of Enrique having his teeth whitened with the comment: “What f*** is he doing? This guy is gay... he does everything except play football.”

The FA said Suso, who quickly deleted the tweet and apologised, accepted he brought the game into disrepute by referring to a “person’s sexual orientation and/or disability”.

A Liverpool club spokesman said: “Suso has accepted his actions were wrong and wholly inappropriate.

“He has been disciplined internally and has accepted his FA punishment.”

But in a bizarre twist Spanish defender Enrique could also find himself in trouble after expressing surprise at Suso’s punishment.

He tweeted: “Is amazing how FA can fine my friend Suso ­Fernandez for a banter thing. Was just a joke!!!”
